IIRC, the use of the CAS as a NAT gateway is only permitted for testing use as 
it has limited number of connections.

Typically, if you're doing a L3 / OOB / real IP solution, you utilize 
policy-based routing to send the traffic through the CAS, and you would have to 
perform NAT on a device that is further upstream (towards the Internet).

Here is one for all you smart NAC admins -

I am working on setting up layer 3 OOB real IP gateway and have everything 
working except one part. My network uses public IP addresses (military) and 
thus no NAT'ing is configured on the network. My un-auth VLAN is set as a 
192.168.x.x network and thus has no way to access the internet for remediation.

My question is - should internet traffic be flowing through the CAS and be 
using the trusted IP address of the CAS or is it simply passed on with the IP 
address of the un-auth network? And if so, what is the easiest way to allow 
unauthorized network traffic limited access to the internet?
